The Battle between God and Satan: Part 4 – The Serpent and the Fall of Man

The common story of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden goes as follows: Adam and Eve were living in paradise and were told by God they could eat from any tree in the garden except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, a talking serpent convinced Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree, which she then shared with her husband. Upon eating of the forbidden fruit, they lost their innocence as a result of their eyes being opened, and became ashamed of their nakedness and tried to hide from God. Upon discovering this act of disobedience, God punished them (including the serpent), banned them from paradise, and drove them away into a cursed world.

Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' "Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was beautiful to the eyes and a tree to be desired, and that would give one understanding, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked.

There is, however, much more to this story than what meets the eye; in fact something so terrible happened here, that it would continue to affect the lives and eternal destinies of billions of souls born into the world for thousands of years to come. Who was this serpent? And what exactly was this tree of knowledge of good and evil all about?

The word “serpent” of Genesis 3 was translated from the Hebrew noun “Nachash [H5175]”, which is not your ordinary snake. A Nachash in the Bible was actually an angelic being called a “Seraphim”, which resembled a fiery, feathered, flying dragon. In Isaiah 6, seraphims are seen hovering above the throne of God.

Isaiah 6:1-3 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims (Nachash H8314), each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Although Nachash are sometimes described as having wings and able to fly, in Isaiah 27 we find a Nachash named Leviathin described as a “dragon that is in the sea”.

Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan, the piercing serpent “Nachash H8314”; even leviathan that crooked serpent “Nachash H8314”; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In Isaiah 14 the Nachash is described as a fiery flying serpent.

Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's “Nachash H5175” root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery “Nachash H8314” flying serpent “Nachash H8314”.

In the book of Revelation, Satan is called both a dragon and a serpent.

Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

Now to analyze the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Trees in the Bible can also be a reference to living beings, such as in the following passages.

Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree (H6086) planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Ezekiel 17:24 And all the trees (H6086) of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree (H6086), have exalted the low tree (H6086), have dried up the green tree (H6086), and have made the dry tree (H6086) to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

In Ezekiel 31, Lucifer is the tree that God made fair by the multitude of his branches, which all the other trees of the Garden of Eden envied. It was Lucifer who exalted himself in his pride, and whom God drove out of Eden because of his wickedness.

Ezekiel 31:9-11 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees (H6086) of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he has shot up his top among the thick foliage, and his heart is lifted up in his height; I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Now to analyze what the forbidden fruit represents, which was a product of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die.”

There were 2 trees described as being “in the midst of the garden”: the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Bible scholars are in agreement that the tree of life is a representation of Christ, the Son of God, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was Lucifer; thus both the Son of God and Lucifer were present and living "in the midst of the garden”. Before Adam and Eve fell into sin and experienced spiritual “death”, their bodies were bodies of light, and they radiated with light. Following is a passage from an ancient manuscript called “The Cave of Treasures.”

When quietness was reigning over all the Ranks [of the Angels], and the hosts [of heaven], God said, "Come ye, let Us make man in Our image, and according to Our likeness." Now by this word "Us" He maketh known concerning the Glorious Persons [of the Trinity]. And when the angels heard these words they were in fear and trembling, saying one to another, "We shall see a great miracle today, the likeness of God our Maker." And they saw the right hand of God opened out flat, and stretched out over the whole world; and all creatures were collected in the palm of His right hand. And they saw that He took from the whole mass of the earth one grain of dust, and from the whole nature of water one drop of water, and from all the air which is above one puff of wind, and from the whole nature of fire a little of its heat and warmth. And the angels saw that when these four feeble (or inert) materials were placed in the palm of His right hand, that is to say, cold, and heat, and dryness, and moisture, God formed Adam… God formed Adam with His holy hands, in His own Image and Likeness, and when the angels saw Adam's glorious appearance they were greatly moved by the beauty thereof. For they saw the image of his face burning with glorious splendor like the orb of the sun, and the light of his eyes was like the light of the sun, and the image of his body was like unto the sparkling of crystal. There he was arrayed in the apparel of sovereignty, and there was the crown of glory set upon his head, there was he made king, and priest, and prophet, there did God make him to sit upon his honorable throne, and there did God give him dominion over all creatures and things.     -  The Cave of Treasures

Thus God created man in His own image and to have dominion over all creatures and things in the Garden of God

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

Lucifer, however, who had originally been given full authority over the Earth as its covering cherub, now found himself usurped by Adam and Eve, who were not only created fully in the image and likeness of God, but had also now been given full dominion over all creatures. Lucifer had to now accept a submissive position under mankind as his new responsibility was now to be that of a ministering spirit to them, their guardian angel, and under their authority, and this is something his pride simply could not tolerate. Lucifer became enraged and was extremely jealous of Adam and Eve, and because of his great pride, he fell hard, and an intense hatred of them emerged.  

And she [Eve] cried out and said: 'Woe unto thee, you devil. Why do you attack us for no cause? What have you to do with us? What have we done to thee? For you pursue us with craft! Or why do you maliciously assail us? Have we taken away thy glory and caused you to be without honor? Why do you harry us, thou enemy (and persecute us) to the death in wickedness and envy?' And with a heavy sigh, the devil spoke: 'O Adam! all my hostility, envy, and sorrow is for thee, since it is for thee that I have been expelled from my glory, which I possessed in the heavens, in the midst of the angels, and for thee was I cast out in the earth.' Adam answered, 'What do you tell me? What have I done to you or what is my fault against you? Seeing that you have received no harm or injury from us, why do you pursue us?' The devil replied, 'Adam, what do you tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place when you were formed. I was hurled out of the presence of God and banished from the company of the angels. When God blew into thee the breath of life and thy face and likeness was made in the image of God, Michael also brought thee and made (us) worship thee in the sight of God; and God the Lord spoke: ‘Here is Adam. I have made you in our image and likeness.' And Michael went out and called all the angels, saying: 'Worship the image of God as the Lord God has commanded.' And Michael himself worshipped first; then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of God the Lord.' And I answered, 'I have no (need) to worship Adam.' And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, 'Why do you urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being (than I). I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I was already made. It is his duty to worship me.' When the angels who were under me heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael said, 'Worship the image of God, but if you will not worship him, the Lord God will be wrath with thee.' And I said, 'If He be wrath with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest.' And God the Lord was wrath with me and banished me and my angels from our glory; and on your account were we expelled from our abodes into this world and hurled on the earth. And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her (doing) from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory.   –  The Vitae of Adam and Eve 11:2-16:4

Thus Lucifer now began to scheme against man and devised a plan to beguile Eve into sinning against their Creator as revenge. Eve believed Lucifer, that if she ate from his tree, she would somehow gain secret knowledge and wisdom that would open her eyes and make her as a god, knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, "You shall not surely die; for God knows that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” 

With that lie, Lucifer began to seduce and beguile Eve into forsaking God’s perfect laws of righteousness, and learn the mysteries of iniquity. 

Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.”

Notice in Genesis 3:6 that even before Eve had tasted of the forbidden fruit, it was the tree that Eve became enamored with, as she saw that it was the tree that was good for food, it was the tree that was beautiful to the eyes, it was the tree that could give one understanding, and she learned to lust after and desired the tree. Once Eve became completely enamored with the tree and could no longer resist her lust for its fruit, she partook of it and gave it also to her husband.

Genesis 3:6-7 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was beautiful to the eyes and a tree to be desired, and that would give one understanding, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked.

Thus Adam and Eve experienced a change to their bodies of light, and they experienced a type of "spiritual death". So what exactly happened here to their bodies? I was certain that something had occured to their DNA, but I could not find any resources to prove my hunch, so I reached out to Loren Pedersen who I knew has been studying the Luciferian rebellion for 40 years, and he volunteered to contribute the following exerpt.

What is "image" and "likeness"? "Image" is what something/someone looks like on the outside, while "likeness" is what something/someone is like on the inside. So Adam and Eve were created to "look like God" on the outside, and to "be like God" on the inside. They were created 100% in God's "image and likeness" - NO other creature previously created, including the all the angelics, including Lucifer himself, had been created in 100% the "image and likeness" of the Godhead. Since Adam and Eve had been created 100% in the "image and likeness" of the Godhead, it means that they were created as:

- 100% perfect in body/flesh w/ full "body powers"

- 100% perfect in soul (mind, will, emotions) w/ full "soul powers"

- 100% perfect in spirit w/ full "spirit powers"

Typically, due to Western perspective, we believe in only 5 senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch; whereas the Eastern world has always believed, and practiced in, the "6th sense" (powers of mind/soul). However, could it be possible that Adam and Eve had also been created with a “Seventh Sense”? This “Seventh Sense” would have been a supernatural nature that would have possessed a "direct connect" with, and covering of and in, the Holy Spirit. In today's understanding and experience, this would be similar to someone being "baptized" and "walking in" the Holy Ghost, but which back then prior to "the fall", would have been a 100% coverage/utilization/walking in the Holy Spirit. It was this 100% "seventh sense" that gave Adam and Eve their "Light Bodies". Adam and Eve still had physical bodies of "flesh", but that "flesh" was not only 100% perfect, with no DNA corruption nor lack (prior to their fall), but was also 100% covered by the Holy Spirit. Think for a moment, what 100% across the board means ...

100% perfect in body/flesh means:

- no DNA corruption

- no "junk DNA"

- no lack of DNA for proper bodily functions

- no sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, defects

- a body with, what would appear today as, superhuman strength and endurance

- no "aging", nor wrinkles, nor "wearing down", but the "fountain of youth"

- bodies that were "immortal" (prior to their sin) - designed to live/function forever!

- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the body/flesh

100% perfect in soul (mind, will, emotions) means:

- full "powers of mind"

- no need for calculators nor computers (Adam and Eve were walking supercomputers)

-100% memory recall (no need for "taking notes", nor forgetting names, dates, places,

  as Adam and Eve were walking dictionaries, encyclopedias, and note pads)

- 100% thought projection and reception, aka "ESP", aka "direct mind link", not only

  with each other but also with the animals (other living creatures with souls)

- quite possibly the ability to dematerialize and materialize elsewhere "at will"

  (as Jesus, in His resurrected body, could walk through walls, yet still eat, etc)

- quite possibly the ability to levitate and move objects (such as large rocks/stones - is

  this how the Pyramids were built ? )

- full "powers of will" and the range/expression of their wills

- full "powers of emotion" and the range/expression of those emotions

- the ability to "peer into" and experience other "realms" and "dimensions"

- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the soul

100% perfect in spirit means:

- a 100%/perfect "direct connect" with the Godhead via the Holy Spirit

- 100% communion with the Father as He came down in the coolness of the day

- 100% communion also with the Son and the Holy Spirit

- 100% ability to "peer into" and experience the "realms of the Spirit world"

- 100% clothed in "Light", with no need for physical clothing

- Adam and Eve still had their flesh bodies (100% perfect), but which were "clothed in Light"

- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the spirit

God had built into Adam and Eve ALL the DNA needed for full utilization and full expression of their being created in God's exact "image and likeness", and thus their "flesh bodies" were capable of living forever as "immortals". When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the first result of their sin was a “disconnection” from the Holy Spirit and the "Light" that had clothed them was now removed from them, revealing the nakedness of their flesh bodies. The DNA that was directly expressive of this former "direct connect" with the Holy Spirit had now become “deactivated” and turned into “junk DNA”. Recently, Russian scientists who study DNA have determined that, on average, Mankind uses only 8% of all DNA that he/she is born with. The rest of the DNA is called "junk DNA", in which scientists don't know what, if anything, it is used for.
-- Loren Pedersen --

There is still even more to the fall of man than the “deactivation of human DNA". Once Adam and Eve experienced spiritual death, the serpent went on further to also convince the woman that in order not to "die childless", that she would need to procreate. Thus Lucifer taught her the secrets of procreation and impregnated her with her first child, Cain. This is why God said He would greatly multiply her sorrow in the conception of children, and is also why He would put enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. The seed of the serpent is a reference to the lineage of Lucifer that would perpetuate in the world through the bloodline of Cain; even Christ himself spoke of this lineage.

Genesis 3:15-16 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Unto the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”

Matthew 13:38-40 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, "If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.

The lies that Lucifer beguiled Eve with are the same lies that would be at the central core of all the Mystery religions of the history of the world, which is, by eating from a forbidden tree, secret knowledge and wisdom (in our day it would also include technology), will be available to them, and they will live forever as a god. Lucifer, whose name became Satan, also tried to beguile the Lord Jesus to bow down to him win return for wealth and power.

Matthew 8-10 Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto him, “All these things will I give thee, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall you serve.’”

The desire to gain access to privileged information, gain wealth and power, and to become as a god and live forever is the exact same agenda that all the secret societies of today are striving for.

The Battle between God and Satan: Part 3 – The Creation of Man

Genesis chapter 1 describes God creating a race of mankind after His own image as male and female, just as He had done in creating all living creatures as both male and female.
   

Genesis 1:24-27 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  

 
Genesis 2 declares that God finished creating the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, and rested on the seventh day.
  
Genesis 2:1-2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.  
  
In Genesis 2, we find the expression, “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,”
  
Genesis 2:4-7 These are the generations [H8435] of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils; and man became a living soul.
  
It is insensible to believe that God created all of Creation in 6 literal 24 hour days. Consider the expression: “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.” This verse is speaking of “several” generations [H8435] of the heavens and the earth. Just as when the Bible gives us the lineage of our ancestors, the expression “these are the generations of” speaks of many generations.
  
Genesis 10:1 Now these are the generations [H8435] of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
   
Genesis 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, [H8435] in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
  
After we reading about “the generations of the heavens and of the earth” the Lord had created, we get to Genesis 2:5 that declares:  “and there was not a man to till the ground.”
    
Genesis 2:5-7 And there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils; and man became a living soul.
   
When God was creating man in Genesis 1:26, the words “make man” were translated from the Hebrew words “Asah Adam”. The word “Asah” means to make, fashion, produce, etc.
  
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make [Asah] man [Adam] in our image, after our likeness.
  
In Genesis 2:7, a different Hebrew word is used and was translated as the word “formed”. Instead of the word make “Asah”, the Hebrew word formed “Yatsar” is used.
  
Genesis 3:7 And the LORD God formed [Yatsar] man [Adam] of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  
 
The interesting thing about the Hebrew word “Yatsar” is that is represents not only a divine aspect of the creation of Adam, but it also represents a “predetermined”, or “pre-ordained” aspect of the creation of Adam’s body.
       
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed “Yatsar” thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
  
Zechariah  12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, which stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundation of the earth, and formed “Yatsar” the spirit of man within him.
  
Notice that on the Day 6 of creation, God had created every living creature after its kind, both male and female, God also created a race of Adam, both male and female. I, and many others, believe this original race of Adam were never given eternal souls because God had not yet “breathed the breath of life” into their nostrils. Notice that the account of Genesis 2 takes place on the eighth day of Creation, when God formed one individual person from the dust of the Earth, called Adam, and to whom God “breathed the breath of life into his nostrils; and man became a living soul.”
       
Here is where I need to discuss DNA, which is the genetic coding created by a holy Creator God for the sole use of the reproduction of all plant, animal, and human life on Earth. It was the manipulation of DNA that would also play a major role in God’s decision to destroy all flesh containing the breath of life, with the flood of Noah’s day.  
   
Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die.
  
The manipulation of human DNA is a flagrant abomination to the Creator, and is highly abhorred by God. Later on in this series, I will also show how God is going to allow the kingdom of Satan to manipulate DNA for the purpose of “binding up” the unsaved, before they are cast into the lake of fire.  
        
Returning to the creation of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 2 we read about how God then “cloned” Eve from Adam by using one of his ribs, which we know would contain all the DNA needed for the cloning of another human, and presented her as his companion.
  
Genesis 18:18-24 And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, became its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man."
 
I, and others, believe that the soul God breathes into each baby born of a woman has had a pre-existence. This is supported by the passages below.
    
Ephesians 1:4-5 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.
  
Jeremiah 1:4-5 Then the Word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you and ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
 
In an ancient manuscript called, The Great Book of the Sons of Fire, I found this interesting passage.
  
Earth was not yet in existence; there were no winds with the sky above them; high mountains were not raised, nor was the great river in its place. All was formless, without movement, calm, silent, void and dark. No name had been named and no destinies foreshadowed. Eternal rest is intolerable, and un-manifested potential is frustration. Into the solitude of timelessness came Divine Loneliness, and from this arose the desire to create, that He might know and express Himself; and this generated the Love of God. He took thought and brought into being within Himself the Universal Womb of Creation, containing the everlasting essence of slumbering spirit. The essence was quickened by a ripple form the mind of God, and a creative thought was projected. This generated power which produced light, and this formed a substance like unto a mist of invisible dust. It divided into two forms of energy through being impregnated with The Spirit of God, and quickening the chaos of the void within the Universal Womb, becoming spun out of whirlpools of substance. From this activity, as sparks from a fire, came an infinite variety of spirit minds, each having creative powers within itself.        (extracted from The Great Book of the Sons of Fire – Chapter 1)
 
After man was created on Earth as described in chapter 1, chapter 2 gives us the following description of how God breathed an eternal soul into man. This manuscript refers to Earth in a feminine form, as in Earth as the Mother and God as the Father.
  
Earth nurtured man with cautious affection, weaning him in the recesses of her body. Then, when he was grown sufficiently to be lifted so he walked in the uprightness of God, she took him and raised him above all creatures. She led him even into the presence of God and she laid him on His Great Altar. A man imperfect, of earthly limitations, a thing unfinished, ungainly and unlearned, but proudly was He presented to Earth’s Creator, not her first-born was man; the son of Earth, the grandchild of God; man the heir of tribulation and pupil of affliction. God saw man, the offering of Earth to her Lord, unconscious on the High Altar; a sacrifice to Him and a dedication to the Spirit of Fate. Then from out of the unfathomable heights and from behind the impenetrable veil, God came down above the Altar and He breathed into man the breath of Eternal Life. Into his sleeping body, God implanted a fragment of Himself, the Seed of a Soul and the Spark of Divinity; man the mortal being became man the heir of God and the inheritor of immortality. Henceforth he would have dominion over God’s earthly estate, but he also had to unravel the Circles of Eternity, and his destiny was to be an everlasting seeking and striving.      (extracted from The Great Book of the Sons of Fire – Chapter 2)         

The Battle between God and Satan: Part 2 – Days 1 - 5 of Creation

In recapping Day 1, we saw that the Spirit of God, which in Hebrew is the "Ruwach" of the "Elohiym", moved over the presence of the abyss as it began to assess the condition of a world plunged into darkness.

     

Genesis 1:2-5 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

The expression “face of the deep” was translated as follows: the word “face” was translated from the Hebrew noun “Paniym”, which means presence, face, or surface, and the word “deep” was translated from the Hebrew noun “Tehowm”, which means depth, abyss, or grave. After the Luciferian rebellion and the angel wars had reduced God’s earthly paradise to a watery grave populated with only fallen beings, the Ruwach of the Elohiym moved to and fro over the face of the waters in order to devise a plan of Restoration. After the assessment was completed, the Elohiym devised a plan of Restoration and Redemption for the fallen that would take several eons, or ages, to accomplish. The first step was to bring the light of God into the abyss. This is when the Elohyim summoned forth the Son of God to manifest His light into the abyss.

    

Isaiah 63:4 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.  

There was no other way for God to bring redemption and restoration to the fallen but by His own arm. An "arm" represents an agency, or extension, of an entity's strength, power, and might. The only extension of Himself the Father could use to redeem the world was by His only Son. It was the Father's will to reclaim the earth back to Himself, as He was the Creator and rightful owner. It was God's will to not only restore the earth and redeem the fallen, but to also bestow the earth as an inheritance to all the Sons of God, to enjoy and rule over it along with their Savior for all eternity; however, the only way to do this was to pay a huge price for it. The only way the Father could reclaim and redeem the world was by commissioning His only Son to become the mediator between the Father and the fallen. In order to become our redeemer, God's Son had to leave his throne in heaven, empty himself of all the glory he shared with the Father, and descend into the abyss where Christ began to execute the greatest act of love and mercy ever imaginable. Thus the Son of God spoke his light into existence by the Word and breath of his mouth. This is why Christ is called “the lamb of God slain from before the foundation of the world” (Rev 11:13). In order for Christ to have been slain from before the foundation of the world, the Father had to sacrifice the Son through "death", and only through death, was Christ able to empty himself of all his glory, leave his throne in the heaven, and enter into the presence of the abyss as the Savior of the Sons of God. 

   

The Son of God is also the creator of all things in our Universe.

       

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made, and without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. 

   

Once the Son of God manifested himself on Day 1, and as he began to create and continue to restore order out of chaos, the foundation of the world was created. I came across an interesting passage from Zen Garcia's latest book that was taken from an extra-Biblical text called, The Book of the Secrets of Enoch; chapters 25 and 26. (These texts can be found at - http://aren.org/prison/documents/religion/Pseudepigrapha/ )

And I placed for myself a throne, and took my seat on it, and said to the light: Go thence up higher and fix yourself high above the throne, and be a foundation to the highest things. And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne. And I summoned the very lowest a second time, and said: Let Archas come forth hard, and he came forth hard from the invisible. And Archas came forth, hard, heavy, and very red. And I said: Be opened, Archas, and let there be born from you, and he came undone, an age came forth, very great and very dark, bearing the creation of all lower things, and I saw that it was good and said to him: Go thence down below, and make yourself firm, and be a foundation for the lower things, and it happened and he went down and fixed himself, and became the foundation for the lower things, and below the darkness there is nothing else.

   

The next step needed to bring order out of chaos was for the Elohyim to divide light from darkness. I believe that when the Elohyim divided light from darkness, Judgment Day occurred because all that reflected the good light of the Son of God was separated from all that did not reflect that light. 

     

Genesis 1:4-5 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

All beings that reflected the good light of the Son of God were chosen in Christ, and would be called the children of the day. This is why Ephesians 1 teaches that the Son of God chose the Elect in him before the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 1:4-5 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

In Revelation 17:8 we read that all those who's names were not written in the book of life from before the foundation of the world, will worship the beast.  

  

Rev 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition; and they that dwell on the earth shall marvel, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

   

It was during this first stage of God's salvation plan for mankind when the light of the Son of God first began to shine forth into the primeval world that then existed, and when the Son of God chose and predestinated the Elect to inherit all things with him. I believe that all those who rejected the good light of the Son of God, would continue to be attracted to the darkness of the underworld, and would eventually become the serpent's seed. This is why we have 2 bloodlines in the world today; the wheat and the tares, the seed of the woman, and the seed of the serpent. This is why the tares always have been the children of the night, and the sons of perdition. In John 17, Jesus tells us that he came to the world to protect all those the Father had given him, and that he would not lose any of them, except for the son of perdition.

   

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I protected them in thy name; those that that you have given me I have protected, and none of them is lost, except for the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

   

Day 2 of Creation: 

After the Elohiym divided the light from darkness on Day 1, the next step needed to bring order out of chaos was to create a barrier between the higher and lower dimensions. The Hebrew word for this barrier is “Raqiya”. Although God said this barrier should be called Heaven, or “Shamayim”, it is interesting to note that throughout the book of Genesis, this barrier is always referred to as the firmament of heaven, or the “Raqiya of the Shamayim”. This barrier was put into place in order to constrain all that would exist in the dimensions kept under the barrier, from all that would exist in the dimensions above the barrier.

Genesis 1:6-8 And God said: “Let there be a firmament (Raqiya) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

   

Day 3 of Creation: 

On the third day of Creation, the Elohyim created the seas, the mountains, all dry land, the trees, and all vegetation. Notice that God created all vegetation on third day of Creation, and that it would not be until the fourth day of Creation when the Elohyim would create the sun, moon, and the stars. The light that existed in this fresh new world was coming either directly from God, or directly from the Shamayim. 

Day 4 of Creation:

On day 4, the Elohyim created the sun, moon, and the stars to reside in the firmament of heaven, or the Raqiya of the Shamayim. 

Genesis 1:14-17 And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament [Raqiya] of the heaven [Shamayim] to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament [Raqiya] of the heaven [Shamayim] to give light upon the earth." And it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also, and God set them in the firmament [Raqiya] of the heaven [Shamayim] to give light upon the earth.

Day 5 of Creation:

On day 5, the birds of the air are also described to be flying in the open Raqiya of the Shamayim.

Genesis 1:20-23 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament [Raqiya]of the heaven [Shamayim]. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth." And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 

     

If God created the Raqiya of the Shamayim as a barrier to separate all dimensions existing under it, from all dimensions existing above the it, could penetrating through it have been the main purpose for building Nimrod's Tower of Babel?

Genesis 11:1-6 And the whole earth had one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. Then they said one to another, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

Several organizations are investing in CERN and the spraying of chemtrails in order to break through the Raqiya and pass through into the higher dimensions. Could this be the event that trigger's the Rapture? It is the removal of the Raqiya of the Shamayim that the Bible is speaking about when it declares that the heaven will depart as a scroll when is rolled up upon the opening of the sixth seal, which we know will usher in the Day of the Lord. This event will also cause the sun to turn black, the moon to turn red, and the stars to fall to the Earth.

Revelation 6:12-14 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together...

   

Matthew 28:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then shall the sign of the Son of Man appear in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

  

I also believe that upon the removal of the Raqiya on the Day of the Lord, the fallen angels will fall to the Earth, as figs that fall from a tree that is being shaken, and they will manifest themselves on the Earth. 

    

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

I believe that God created the Raquiya on Day 2 for the purpose of preventing all future angel wars, as it was the angel wars which had originally brought about the devastation of the earth. Should the Raqiya be successfully penetrated by those who are currently investing in those plans, it is guaranteed that hell on Earth will begin. Not only with the weather go completely out of control, but it will also unleashed all those imprisoned in the underworld. All chaos will once again return to the world, and it will self destruct, as it had done so prior to Day 1.

   

Revelation 9:1-6 And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

After the first heaven and the first earth pass away, God will create a new heaven and a new earth for the redeemed.

   

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 

   

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 

   

Once we begin to live in the new age to come, the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, I believe God will continue with his plan of redemption and restoration, and that God will continue to heal us from the eons of sin and destruction brought about by the Luciferian rebellion and the angel wars. But as for now, the birth pangs are beginning to intensify as we approach closer and closer to the birthing of the next age.

The Battle between God and Satan: Part 1 – In the beginning - Day 1

After studying the Loren Pedersen Chronicles, as well as the writings of Zen Garcia regarding the Luciferian rebellion and the angel wars, I now have a clearer understanding of what is written in the book of Genesis. I will start with Genesis 1:1.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

   

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth perfectly, because God is perfect. The Hebrew word for heaven used here is Shamayim. It represents the heavenlies where God and the angelics abide, and it exists in another dimension apart from our own physical dimension. The earth that God created on the first day is not the Earth that we see today, but rather it was a beautiful paradise, and was called "Eden, the garden of God". We can know this from reading Ezekiel 28 where God is describing Lucifer when he was a perfect angel living there.

   

Ezekiel 28:12 Thus saith the Lord God; “You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering."

   

We can see that God was in perfect harmony with His earthly creation, and that Lucifer had been commissioned as a guardian angel over God's garden.

   

Ezekiel 28:14-15 "You were the anointed cherub that covers. I established you. You were upon the holy mountain of God. You walked back and forth in the midst of the stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created." 

How do we then get from a perfectly created earth of Genesis 1:1, to the earth of Genesis 1:2 that is found to be in a chaotic, wasted condition, with darkness permeating upon the face of the deep?

   

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.  

   

The words “without form” were translated from the Hebrew noun “Tohuw”, which means something that is without order, as in something that is in a state of "chaos". The English word “void” was translated from the Hebrew noun “Bohuw” which means “waste”. Both words “without form” and “void” are nouns, not adjectives, therefore Genesis 1:2 is telling us that God's paradise became “chaos”, and it became “waste”. 

    

The earth's condition of Genesis 1:2 was not created by God. God had originally created a beautiful paradise, with all the angels as perfect beings.  God the Father is a God of order, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

   

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it, He has established it; He created it not void [Tohuw H8414], he formed it to be inhabited.

   

1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

   

Although Genesis does not give us any details of what transpired to get us from Gen 1:1 to Gen 1:2, I have learned from others who have studied extra-Biblical texts, and can teach us hidden secrets of what occurred between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2, the Luciferian rebellion, and the angel wars. According to these extra-Biblical texts, there was a great angelic war that took place in the heavens, the Shamayim, that also devastated the earth as an aftermath. Many are in agreement that Jeremiah 4 gives us a glimpse of what transpired during this era, or eon.

Jeremiah 4:23-25 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

How can the birds of the heavens flee away unless they were already in existence before earth was found to be without form and void? How could there have been mountains and hills? This passage supports the theory that a great destruction occurred in God’s Creation because of the angel wars. Revelation 12 also describes a great angelic war.

  

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, and prevailed not.

  

Why did Lucifer, a perfectly created and perfectly wise cherub, rebel against God? Even after God had blessed him with unequaled beauty and power? The answer to this is found in Ezekiel 28.

Ezekiel 28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until iniquity was found in you.

       

Ezekiel 28:16-18 By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned. Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, oh covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings; that they might gaze at you. You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading.

Ezekiel 28 explains that it was because of the abundance of Lucifer's "trading" that he became filled with violence within, and sinned. The word “trading” was translated from the Hebrew word “Rekullah”, which means the trafficking of merchandise. Although we cannot be certain what exactly it was that Lucifer was trading, but we can assume that Lucifer began to "buy and sell" valuable commodities. We know that the Earth we now live in produces every precious gem, and gold, and we know that Lucifer was covered with every precious stone, including diamonds and gold, and now we can only assume that Lucifer had begun to engage in the commerce, or trafficking, of coveted merchandise found in abundance in the paradise of Eden. This "abundance of trading" caused Lucifer to become more powerful, and more proud, and greedy, until iniquity and sin birthed itself from within him. Lucifer’s heart became “lifted up” and proud because of his beauty. He became vain, and corrupted his wisdom in order to enhance his own splendor. We can only also assume that he began to lie and cheat others in order to gain more power, and more wealth. He began to love himself more than he loved his Heavenly Father. Lucifer began to "feel the glory of wealth”, which fed his greed and insatiable desire for more. Lucifer had no fear God.

    

After the angel wars which devastated God's perfect Creation, the Spirit of God was now compelled to move upon the face of the waters, and begin to take inventory of the devastation. The Spirit of God had to now investigate, examine, analyze, and appraise it all in order to report it back to God the Father. 

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.   

    

After the Spirit of God, which in Hebrew is the "Ruwach" of the "Elohiym", had completed its assessment of the aftermath of the angel wars which had devastated God's perfect Creation and plunged into its new state of chaos, waste, and darkness, God the Father had to then devise and begin to put into place a plan of Restoration. In Gen 1:3 God begins this plan of Restoration by declaring His good light, and His good sovereignty over His fallen Creation by sending His only Son to declare God's light over the darkness.

    

Genesis 1:3-4: And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. 

   

At this moment in history a new era, or eon, began. This is when the Son of God revealed Himself, with His spoken Word, and with His light, which now began to shine forth into the chaos, waste, and darkness that had engulfed God's fallen Creation. The Son of God is the light of the world (John 9:5). The Son of God is also the Word of God. When God said, "Let there be light.", it was the Son of God revealing Himself by his own Word. The Word of God carries not only light, but also vibration, which is sound; it is the Rhema [G4487] Word of God being declared forth as God's new plan of Restoration begins to unfold. From this point on, it is the Son of God who begins to re-create and restore the heavens and the earth.
        

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

   

After the Son of God declared His light and His sovereignty over the fallen, it was now time to pass judgment against the darkness, and God separated the good light that came from the Son of God, from the fallen realm of darkness. This separation between light and darkness was actually not an act of Creation, but rather an act of judgment. 

   

Genesis 1:4-5 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  

   

1 Thessalonians 5:5 confirms the redeemed are the "sons of the light and sons of the day", they are not of the night, nor of darkness.

   

1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 

America, Daughter of Babylon: Why America will be the first to fall

In all of written history there has never existed a country greater and more blessed of God than the United States of America. During America's brief history since gaining her independence in 1776, no other country in the world had attained her power, wealth, productivity, medical, and technological advancements, and there was a time when all the nations of the world had acknowledged her supremacy. But now, because of several developing factors, it appears that the more powerful nations of the world are all beginning to lose faith in her, and have begun plotting against her. These developing factors are now converging together to bring America to her demise, and God is also getting ready to judge her severely. Her utter destruction in one hour is a predestined prophesy that has been thoroughly written about in Scriptures, and of which many prophets of God are currently warning us about. The entire 47th chapter of Isaiah describes this judgment.
  
Isaiah 47:1-15 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones and grind meal, remove your veil, take off the skirt, uncover the thigh, and pass through the rivers. Your nakedness shall be uncovered; yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and no man shall stand against me, as for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel. Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms. I was angry with my people; I have polluted my inheritance and given them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy; on the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. And you said, “I shall be a lady forever,” so that you did not take these things to heart, nor remembered the latter end of them. Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, who dwell securely, who say in your heart, “I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow,nor shall I know the loss of children”; But these two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day: the loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries, for the great abundance of your enchantments. For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, “No one sees me”; your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; and you have said in your heart, “I am, and there is no one else besides me.”  Therefore evil shall come upon you; you shall not know from where it arises, and trouble shall fall upon you; you will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth-- perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you will prevail. You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed by, nor a fire to sit before! Thus shall they be to you with whom you have labored; your merchants from your youth; they shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.

Compare America today from America of the 1950’s; it is utterly shameful how American society and her moral standards have degraded. Look at Hollywood; child abuse, pedophilia, and pornography; abortion, the greed of the Elite; the thievery of Wall Street. Look at the idolatry; idol worship! It is everywhere! Look how America has embraced homosexuality, while removing every mention of God from our schools and public meeting places. Look at the mega-churches, their wealth and greed, and their apostasy; how they love to preach of prosperity with their watered-down Gospel. History is repeating itself, as the false prophets of Jeremiah's day were doing before God destroyed them.
 
Jeremiah 8:11 For they [the false teachers] have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, Saying, "Peace, peace!" When there is no peace.
 
Jeremiah 3:8 Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
 
Just as God used the Babylonian armies in helping Him destroy the 12 tribes of Israel in 587 BC, God will also use the armies of the world today to destroy America.
 
Jeremiah 5:15 Behold, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, says the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.
 
America used to be the apple of God’s eye; look how the Lord blessed her; but because America has now completely trampled over and ignored God’s will, God will Judge her. As Luke 12 declares that to those whom God has given much, much is required, much was also required of America.
  
Luke 12:48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

But God has promised to deliver Zion, which is His Elect, His Bride, from the destruction of the daughter of Babylon.
  
Zechariah 2:7 Up, Zion! Escape!You who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
  
1 Thessalonians 5:3-11 For when they shall say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day; be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us; that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

A Word from the Lord given to Zachary Wilkinson on Dec of 2013

I, Jesus the Messiah, take my bride to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to devote my life to her for eternity, giving her the kingdom I have prepared for her. I will never forsake, nor ever leave her. She is mine to hold and nothing will ever come between us. I give this oath to you, my bride: to stay by my Word, and to not leave and go back on what was spoken by my lips. You are the apple of my eye and I will treat you with the utmost care and love. What is mine is yours, my bride; nothing that I have in my storehouse will be held back from you; ask, and you shall receive. My love for you, my bride, is a branch that never ceases to bear fruit; I will continually pour my love for you. As your husband, I will guide and lead you; I will be your comforter and protector through all things. Joy shall be your life, and pure love shall be the cup you drink from. I am the I AM; nothing is above I, for nothing but the Father is beside me. I give you this ring of my covenant with you: to always stay by my side and to never forsake me. I Jesus, take this hand in marriage in front of all my Creation: to show my pursuit and endurance in this marriage. I shall give her my life and whatever she asks, shall be granted. She is my love and I will make her feel special, for she has been loyal to the end, and has not left me for another. Take this ring, my bride, and accept this covenant: for I have given my life for you, and you have given your life for me. I will show you the hidden truths of my Creation as a gift of my love. I will treat you as royalty, with my love as a cornerstone. Take my hand and accept this marriage, for I have awaited this day: to show you my true love. You will have the work of my hands as your resting place, and your jewels and ornaments shall shine for eternity. You have made yourself ready for me, and have come out of your chamber to meet me. Thank you, daughter, for watching and awaiting for my return. I will not make your wait worthless: I shall make it beyond what your imagination can conjure up. I love you my bride, do not look back: for your time for the wedding supper is here! Listen to my voice and my voice only: for I am your everything, and nothing can match to me. This is your time to shine, my love, so shine bright of my love for you. Accept this marriage wholeheartedly and rest in my covenant. I love you my darlings; never leave my side!

Love,
Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Adonai, and King of Kings

Revelation 21:9-11 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 

The Sign of the Prophet Jonah

In Matthew chapter 12, Jesus made the following statement. 

   

Matthew 12:39-40 An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
  
As we are now awaiting the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am hearing more and more people prophesy about 3 days of darkness that is coming to the Earth. They are also in agreement that it will be during this time when the Rapture will occur. I was skeptical of this at first, but after hearing person after person declare it, I looked into it to see how the Bible supports it. When looking at the passage above of Matthew 12, I asked myself, "What does being 3 days and nights in the belly of the fish and being 3 days and nights in the heart of the Earth have in common?" There are several things in common; one of them being that the sun does not shine there, and so both are places of great darkness, and another one being that both places represent Sheol, which always represents either the grave, or pit, or hell, or the place where the dead descend to. I next contemplated on the prophesy Jesus made that just prior to his return, the sun and the moon will be darkened, and the stars will fall from heaven.
 
Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon not give its light; the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
   
In the passage above, Jesus declares that just prior to his return in the clouds of glory, the sun will be darkened, then the Rapture will occur. I then linked this passage with the passage of Matthew 12 where Christ declares the only sign that will be given us will be the sign of the prophet Jonah, who spent 72 hours in total darkness. First it is important to understand the purpose of why Jonah spent 72 hours in the belly of a great fish. God had mandated Jonah to travel to Nineveh and warn them that God was going to destroy them in 40 days, but Jonah did not want to obey God, and thought he could hide from God by hiding in a boat headed towards Tarshish.
   
Jonah 1:1-17 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise,go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me." But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to him and said unto him, "What is your intention, oh sleeper? Arise and call upon your God, perhaps your God will consider us, so that we perish not." And they said every one to his fellow, "Come, and let us cast lots, so that we may know for whose cause this evil has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Then said they unto him, "Please tell us, for whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? and where do you come from? what is your country? and of what people are you?" And he said unto them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which made the sea and the dry land." Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. Then said they unto him, "What shall we do unto you, that the sea may be calm unto us?" - for the sea was growing more tempestuous. And he said unto them, "Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you." Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land, but they could not, for the sea had a strong current, and was tempestuous against them. Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him. Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
     
The reason why God prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah and keep him in darkness for 72 hours was because Jonah rebelled against God by not going to Nineveh. This act of rebellion is very relevant to why God is going to bring 3 days of darkness to the world. The second chapter of the book of Jonah astonished me because of how Jonah described his experience while being in the belly of the fish. I then realized that Jonah's experience is precisely what is going to happen to the 7 billion+ souls now living on the Earth when the Lord brings us the sign of the prophet Jonah, and our experience will be as if we had been plunged into the pit of hell.
   
Jonah 2:1-10 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish's belly and said, "I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice. For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all Your billows and Your waves passed over me. Then I said, I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple. The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; the deep closed around me; weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the base of the mountains; the earth with its gates closed behind me forever; yet You have brought up my life from the pit of hell, O Lord, my God. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer went up to You, into Your holy temple. Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord." So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
 
Jonah chapter 2 describes the fallen state of mankind, the relationship between God and those who seek after Him, it contains the Gospel of Salvation, and it contains a solemn warning to those who love the things of the world and forsake God. Jonah represents God's Elect who will remember God, and will cry out to Him and pray for salvation. In described his experience Jonah said that he was in the belly of Sheol, in the pit of hell, and he felt as if he had been cast out from the sight of God, and that Earth's gates had closed behind him forever. Jonah also declared that all those that regard their worthless idols, will forsake their own mercy. That is, all those who do not remember God, who do not look again toward His holy temple, who do not surrender to God with the voice of thanksgiving and accept God's gift of Salvation, but will regard their worthless idols instead, will forsake their own mercy because God will not be able to deliver them from the pit of hell. God always gives man free will, and will never force anyone into accepting and worshiping Him.
   
I then linked the parable of the ten virgins of Matthew 25 with the sign of the prophet Jonah. In that parable, there are 10 virgins who are awaiting the arrival of their bridegroom, but they all fall asleep. Then at midnight, the arrival of the bridegroom is announced. Notice that arrival of their bridegroom is announced at midnight; and so therefore the main events described in this parable all take place during a period of darkness.    
 
Matthew 25:1-6 The kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: "Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go ye out to meet him!"
 
When the arrival of the bridegroom is announced at midnight, all ten virgins arise to trim their lamps, but only the wise virgins who had taken oil in their vessels, were able to light their lamps.

Matthew 25:7-8 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out."

The oil represents the Holy Spirit, and the vessels represents the persons. Only the wise virgins who were carrying the Holy Spirit in themselves, were able to light their lamps and reflect the light of life; the light from God.

Matthew 5:14 [Jesus said] You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
 
John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
 
The wicked are unable reflect the light of God.
 
Job 18:5-6 The light of the wicked indeed goes out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp beside him is put out...verse 18 He is driven from light into darkness.

In Amos 5:18 we read that the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! To what end is it for you? The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
  

In Isaiah chapter 60, we read about a time of deep darkness that will cover the Earth, and notice the command to God's Elect to "arise and shine."
 
Isaiah 60:1-5 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you; The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
 
Just as God heard Jonah's prayers and delivered him from deep darkness in which he found himself, so also will God deliver all those that cry out to Him during those 3 days of darkness. I believe that these 3 days of darkness will follow a great earthquake, or shaking of the Earth. Psalms 18 describes a shaking of the Earth that is followed by thick darkness, which occurs as the result of God's anger. It also declares that God will create an opening in the heavens through which the Lord will descend, and that there will be darkness under His feet. It declares that God will make darkness His secret place,and that there will be dark waters around God's pavilion; just as Jonah was surrounded by dark waters.  

 
Psalms 18:7-12 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken because He was wroth. There went up a smoke out of His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under His feet. And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yeah, He did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
